Callous

You’re so strong when you’re callous, aren’t you?

When the only one you think about is you.

Being careless of other people’s problems,

’Cause it’s always their burden to solve them.

No matter how hard life hits you and the others,

Still, you are the only one who constantly suffers.

But don’t you dare let them help you out,

’Cause when it comes about them, apathy is all they get, no doubt.

You would drag all their kindness towards you,

But hardly would you offer a part of yours, wouldn’t you?

You are too proud to get rid of that armor,

You are way too afraid to look into the mirror.

But someday, when you get tired of bitter faces around you,

When you notice that life goes on without any value,

You start running and searching for the real You.
